Minnesota added one to its COVID-19 death toll between Sunday and Monday, according to an update from the state Department of Health.

The coronavirus has now killed 10 people in the state.

The number of Minnesotans who tested positive for COVID-19 rose by 73 and reached a total of 576 cases Monday morning. Of that group, 56 remain hospitalized, 24 of them in intensive care. Overall, 92 cases in the state required hospitalization.

People with the disease range in age from 4 months to 104 years old, according to Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm on a media call Monday. That includes 157 cases among health care workers.

The state has prioritized testing of people working in health care and people who are hospitalized as well as people living or working in congregate living facilities, like group homes and assisted living centers.

In two cases, health care workers were infected by patients, and in several other instances, it passed between coworkers, said Infectious Disease Division Director Kris Ehresmann. "We have thankfully had a very limited number of situations in which the health care setting was the source of exposure, which is reassuring."

On Saturday there were 22 outbreaks in congregate living facilities, and Monday that number reached 31. There only needs to be one case in a facility, such as a nursing home, for it to be considered an "outbreak" and merit an escalated response, Malcolm said.

What is the response?

State officials have taken steps to slow the spread of the virus to allow for more time to set up temporary hospitals and procure medical supplies like masks and gloves to protect health care providers across the state.

This weekend was the first under Gov. Tim Walz's stay-at-home order. Walz said transportation monitors around the state showed a traffic decrease of more than 50% this weekend compared to averages in March 2019.

State officials have been assessing sites to add 2,750 temporary hospital beds, including 1,750 in greater Minnesota on top of the capacity hospitals are expanding on their own, said Joe Kelly, director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management in the state.

"We need you to give, your time as a volunteer, a charitable cash donation or a pint of blood to help care for our fellow Minnesotans," Kelly said. "Beating this virus is a team sport, and we need you on the team."

As the number of cases continues to rise statewide, so does the number of people who have recovered and no longer need to be isolated. As of Monday, 260 people diagnosed in Minnesota could leave isolation.

In the state, 18,822 people have been tested. About 42% were tested in the state public health lab.

The state no longer has a backlog of tests.

Where is it in Minnesota?

The number of known cases in Sherburne County has reached seven, and there are six in Wright County, according to the Health Department. The count in Stearns County has remained at five for several days and one in Benton County.

Confirmed cases have been found in 48 of Minnesota's 87 counties. Counties added Monday included Itasca, Meeker and Watonwan.

State health officials have asked residents to take precautions throughout the state and to assume the virus is in every community.

Globally, there are more than 740,000 confirmed cases, including more than 143,000 in the U.S., according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. In the U.S., at least 2,500 have died from COVID-19, with the largest concentration in New York City.
